Brake Parts C70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Mark R. on  Tue May 18 05:06 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Sure, I've checked volvospeed Bay13 and have tracked all the various brake threads.

My simple question is this:
EXACTLY what parts should I order before I replace pads and rotors on all 4 wheels on my '00 C70 convertible?
1) Obviously pads and rotors.
2) I already have pin lube for the back of shims (both moly and synthetic).
3) I have compressed air, wire brush, brake cleaner & a hammer to coax off the old rotors
4) <-- what else must I have on hand for this brake job (my first on this car) or the next one? I'd like to order *everything* to either use now or have on the shelf......

Lastly, I have hex sockets and torx sockets - does this car require them?
Also: I may do a fluid change once I'm satisfied w/ my handiwork.

Thanks all!

    don't forget the good old PB Blaster.

    Spray them bolts the night before you tackle the job, and piece of cake to remove.

    For fluid replacement you will want the Motiv Power Bleeder:

    It makes the job easy. Motiv also sells it at their web site for
    the same price as IPD.

    You will also need DOT 4+ brake fluid. I get it at the local Volvo
    dealer (I have not found anyone that will ship the fluid by mail).

    I've seen people report that you need to be gentle with the bleed nipples
    because they can break. I think the rear caliper has an upper and lower
    bleed nipple and I can't recall which one you use (fuzzy on that, though).
